Gerardo Gabriel Galindo Martínez (born 23 May 1978) is a Mexican former professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.
Gerardo debuted in a victory 1–0 over Atlante. El Jerry was a vital part in UNAM Pumas 2 championships in a row in 2004. Although debuting in 1997, it was in 2001 when he gained a starting spot in Pumas.
Being a starter and a trustworthy player in Hugo Sánchez's coaching career in Pumas, he has also been called to play with Mexico, such as qualification games for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
In 2013, after being diagnosed with cancer, Galindo had treatments to remove a tumor. The tumor returned months later, thus forcing Galindo into retirement. In 2017, Galindo joined former UNAM teammate Jaime Lozano, to be an assistant coach at Queretaro FC.[1]
